The recent news that Jude Law had been cast as Mar-Vell in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie came with confirmation that Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One, Bloodline, Animal Kingdom) had signed on as the baddie, and now we may know which Marvel Comics character he'll be suiting up as.

According to That Hashtag Show, Mendelsohn will play tyrannical Kree officer, Yon-Rogg. In the comics, Rogg was originally an enemy of Mar-Vell's who kidnapped Carol Danvers in an effort to draw out his former crew-mate. Their subsequent battle resulted in Danvers gaining her powers.

Most of us assumed Mendelsohn had been cast as a Kree character so this probably wouldn't be too much of a surprise, but even so, let's keep that pinch of salt handy until we know more.

"Rogg was originally an enemy of Mar-Vell's who kidnapped Carol Danvers in an effort to draw out his former crew-mate"

This could actually work rather well;

Carol gets her powers, is mentored from afar by Mar-Vell. Then during the third act, Rogg arrives, he kidnaps Carol Danvers thinking she is weak and wants to use her to draw Mar-Vell to him, then she manages to escape and take down the ship while teaming up with Mar-Vell who arrives at the end of the movie.

I used to think that DC had the higher caliber actors. Now I think that has dramatically shifted and the top actors and actresses are signing with Marvel.
